SADD STRONG NATIONAL CHAPTER CAMPAIGNS

SADD’s strength lies in numbers. To demonstrate our impact as SADD Nation, all chapters conduct campaigns and activities at the same time of year, we call it being SADD STRONG!

The SADD national office with the help of its many partners around the country have developed a collection of THREE programs that target SADD’s three core issue areas. (Traffic Safety, Substance Abuse, and Personal Health & Safety). Implementing these programs also qualifies chapters for the WE ARE SADD STRONG Achievement and Recognition Program!

October – Rock the Belt, in conjunction with National Teen Driver Safety Week

February – SADD Shines Week, held to celebrate SADD students and all you do and promote personal health and safety

April – It Worth The Risk?, in conjunction with Alcohol Awareness Month

All SADD STRONG programs are comprised of an activity guide packed with relevant activity ideas and media templates. The activity guides aim to target three core constituencies: schools, parents, and communities.

Rock the Belt: In Every Seat, Every Vehicle, Every TimeRock the Belt is a SADD national core program that uses peer-to-peer based prevention strategies to engage schools, parents, and communities about the importance of wearing seat belts in every vehicle, in every seat, every time. Chapters are strongly encouraged, but not required, to hold their activities from October 15-21, 2017 in conjunction with National Teen Driver Safety Week.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s in the activity guide:
